If you set up the computer, or it came from the manufacturer already
set up with the current user, you are probably an administrator.
Only if somebody at your work or who administrates your machine set
it up for you, would you be using a user account. So I think that is
not your problem.

You referred to odd things, which was a bit generic. ;-)

That we can solve if you or a friend is knowledgeable about making
changes in the registry.

In the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Money\8.0,
you probably have something such as "AVHelpPath"="F:\MONEY\avhelp"
or whatever. So the AVHelpPath probably refers to your CD drive.
If you are adept at editing the registry, you can change the
reference to refer to your hard drive rather than your CD drive.
If you are not adept at that, find a friend who is. The path need
not actually exist on the hard drive.

"as an administrative
user."? I'm sorry, but firstly how do I run Money 2000 as an administrative
user? And secondly, how to I tell an if I'm not already an administrative
user or not? And perhaps thirdly, why should such then make Money 2000
compatable? Like when I run the mouse pointer over the sound or speaker icon
on the top right corner of the initial window it produces a prompt suggesting
that there's no CD in drive F:!!!

You need to both install and run Money 2000 as an administrative
user.

If you already are running that way, you should describe the error
message more precisely.

Is MS Money 2000 Standard compatable with XP Home Edition? Because after
installing it on XP it seems to do strange things. Like some odd error
message about a file name when selecting a 'tab' on 'options' menu!
